Mingles with my frozen tears
On your crypt below...

he seen,the light passed...

Though it was assured
His peace has yet to come still
even with the crypt
his tale made it to the shore
and he never did look back...

2025’s manuscript
Tips off the rip-offs as we’re gypped!
When oligarchs die
They'll not greed deny
But flip us the bird from their crypt...

My heart, a cold crypt
Haunted by your ghostly thought 
Your casket empty 
Forgive my dark transgressions
You’re my eternal moonlight

from Mother's garden

           radiant orchids are plucked---

     adorning her crypt

As revulsion and fear rush to compete,

I'm unable to clear my heart of dread.

For while I’m locked in a crypt on a dare, 

a Halloween-Moon; resurrects the dead....

Deep black, like the night with no moon.
Somber dirgeful, grave, morose tune.
Ebon flower, dahlia's late bloom.
Pretty blossom.
Placed near stone crypt, by near cold tomb.
Life's gone, awesome....

Black Sun’s crypt sands,
feeling infernal crimson winds 
ancient galleon sail
Across a brutal bloody land.
Setting on Jagged black
Shores casting far into golden 
Halo’s, burning the horizon cold....

the day of the dead
jazz cannibal festival
good food for the soul

eat much more music
drink from a skull cup holder
savor the flavor

celebrate all life
the end is musical bones
then into the crypt...

My parents are bees!
Busy bees!

They keep a dog
Log

It's quite sassy
Bossy

From the top, that dog sees for miles
Smile...

They are recording a discovery now
WOW!

Then, where is my script?
Crypt...

Trump In Crypt

Trump had slowly slipped,
Into what was well kept crypt;
Than to China shipped.

Jim Horn

Started a new card game called,
"Bringing in the trumps. We shall
come rejoicing bringing in the
trumps....

CRYPTIC TABLEAU

groaning of the keys

     sharp tones of the crypt

phantom’s masterpiece

     sad and melodic

dauntless pendulum

     calling forth his bride

Rebirth
pushing forward
like the Phoenix rising
from its crusty crypt of ashes
to soar again and sing its song of Spring
Earth erupting in luscious life
snowdrops sigh with relief
splendorous Spring
Rebirth...

Give me quill, ink, paper, time and you 
Keep rose, smiling, flying kisses 
Nothing I want in alone ,
Nothing I leave with you. 
Here I'll draw your heart
And live for years 
together 
with its 
crypt.

Threnody dirges miseries
Severance of machinations
The gravedigger’s shovel buries
These coffin crypt lamentations
Lachrymose welts filling levees
Life’s vile xenotransplantations
Psychopomp as a wraith’s whisper
Dust swept away by a zephyr...

When this pen of mine it dries
Pondered words in memory dies
Forever lost on paper wrought
Emotions gone in fleeting thought
Left there to beg unwritten script
Falls quiet into memories crypt
What words hath thou in mind
You have failed to leave behind?...

Patience of purity
         Testament of Time
                   Marble  Crypt Unscathed

Hopeful happiness
           Spirit Quest
                    Lazarus Unscathed

Prince of Peace
          Christian Dream
                  Jesus Unscathed...

IT’S OVER
It hurt for me to let her go
But i have let her to know
We just can’t together grow

I love so much to say quit
I hate to see us away split
Our love now a close crypt

I can say it’s over so immediate
Because we were once intimate
Don’t want to break her heart for hate...

I.

The grave is the adolescent goal,
Death’s the teenage cult,
Byronic, the melodramatic role,
With suicide, oft the result.

II.

Transcending malaise is the urgent task,
Evading those marble tombs;
Your soul in Sonlight beams must bask,
Defying Death’s crypt-like gloom....

I had a lekker time in Egypt
even though I didn’t visit a crypt

I drank, smoked, had fun with friends
later back on board someone stole my tens

still had fun on the last night there
and the cab ride was quite a scare

that was one of the ports I have seen
as a young sailor at age nineteen...

A night and a dry dream
Open my mind to scream
All that was and will be
In remnants fading

Edgar Allan Poe chokes
As a grey face in a hall
Flies though a worn wall
Dark clouds wash over

Gravestones moan gray rain
As marble cherubs mock their pain
With gnarled hands yearning
Can't you see the crypt turning?...
